Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Situation Report – 135 Data as received by WHO from national authorities by 10:00 CEST, 03 June 2020
Highlights
Basic psychosocial support skills are at the core of any mental health and psychosocial support intervention. To assist all those involved in the COVID-19 response, WHO has published guidance on basic psychosocial
skills.
At the Yemen High-level Pledging Conference, Dr Mike Ryan, Executive Director, WHO Health Emergencies Programme emphasized that COVID-19 was placing a major burden on the health system, already on the verge of collapse , and that despite the considerable efforts of WHO and partners in Yemen, ‘we need a massive scale-up of our COVID and non-COVID health operations to assist some of the most vulnerable
populations in the world’.
On 29 May 2020, WHO and the International Labour Organization (ILO) hosted a webinar on returning to work in the context of COVID-19. For more information see the ‘Subject in Focus’ below.
A record number of countries have contributed data revealing disturbing rates of antimicrobial resistance.
WHO is concerned that the trend will further be fueled by the inappropriate use of antibiotics during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Subject in Focus: Returning to work in the context of COVID-19
On 29 May 2020, WHO and the International Labour Organization (ILO) hosted a webinar on “returning to
work” in the context of COVID-19 The webinar focused on how businesses and societies can adapt to ensure
the safety of workers, their families and communities, and the sustainability of business operations as
national restrictions are eased. It was attended remotely by over 1000 participants from across all six WHO
Regions.
As businesses are restarted, workers and employees must confront a range of occupational safety and health
hazards not limited to the risk of COVID-19 transmission, including psychosocial risks related to fear, stigma and job insecurity. Safety measures to reduce transmission of COVID-19 will be necessary, ranging from
enhanced hygiene and physical distancing, to mandatory use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in
higher-risk settings where measures based on prevention of exposure cannot sufficiently reduce risk. Risk
mitigation measures must reflect the features of, and risks related to, each specific job. To ensure they can be properly implemented and are working as intended, individual businesses must develop prevention and
mitigation action plans in consultation with workers and their representatives based on assessment of
occupational health risks and epidemiological situation; return to work should take place in a phased and
controlled manner; sufficient resources must be put in place; and policies should be revisited and adapted as
the situation changes.
Existing labour standards provide a normative framework for countries and employers to develop policies
and guidance. Many of the issues raised by COVID-19 are already covered in a general manner by ILO conventions and recommendations such as the Occupational Safety and Health Recommendation 164 and
Occupational Safety and Health Convention C155 which provide an overall framework for managing hazards
in the workplace, in addition to sector-specific labour standards.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, WHO and the ILO have been working to meet the demand from
stakeholders for reliable information to inform safe back-to-work strategies. The ILO has also launched a
portal which brings together the latest news and recommendations related to COVID-19, including specific
guidance for different sectors. The ILO’s recently-released guidance note on safe and healthy return to work aims to assist governments, as well as employers’ and workers’ organizations, in developing national policy
guidance for a phased and safe return to work, and provide guidelines for workplace -level risk assessments
and implementation of preventive and protective measures—which are summarized in the ILO’s ten action
points tool. WHO has produced a scientific brief on modes of transmission of COVID-19.
The Department of Health from South Africa shared current policy perspectives on easing restrictions and
restarting the economy; touching upon many of the issues raised by the other speakers. Despite the
continuing risk of COVID-19 transmission, the South African government recognised that the current policy of lockdowns and closure of businesses is not viable in the long term. To balance the two priorities of
preventing a new wave of COVID-19 cases that could overwhelm the health system and safeguarding
livelihoods, the government has adopted a phased approach to reopening with five alert levels, tailored to
different provinces of the country, with different public health measures and restrictions on activities based on the current risk of COVID-19 transmission. Different sectors, including mining and the public sector, have
been given guidelines for return to work at each alert level, along with restrictions that should remain after
the lockdown, regardless of the alert level. Activity will be resumed in each sector using a phased approach,
with no more than one third of workers returning to work at once. At the same time, safety measures will account for risks to workers as they commute, work, and interact with clients, consumers and the wider
community. These efforts must be supported by the timely availability of high-quality data to identify
potential cases, and inspections of workplaces to ensure measures are being implemented.
Social partners on the webinar emphasized that every worker is essential and must be protected from
COVID-19, and that safe and healthy work conditions are a fundamental right. In the context of the COVID-19
pandemic, enhancing workplace safety is not just a concern for individual workers, but is vital to overall
public health. The risks faced by workers do not just depend on their job role, but also on the type of relationship between workers and their employers. Policy-makers and businesses are called on to pay
particular attention to protecting contract workers, migrant workers, and those in the informal economy.
Return to work must also be accompanied by ‘social protection’ measures, particularly paid sick leave and
protection against discrimination and harassment, to ensure no group of workers is unfairly disadvantaged.
As the world economy restarts and begins its recovery, the opportunity to take stock of lessons presented by
the pandemic on the relationship between work, human health and environmental sustainability should not
be lost. For its part, WHO has developed a manifesto for a healthy and green recovery from COVID-19, with six prescriptions including protecting nature, investing in essential services, ensuring a quick healthy energy
transition, promoting healthy and sustainable food systems, building healthy, liveable cities, and ending
taxpayer subsidies for polluting activities.

(COVID-19) document which includes surveillance definitions.
Definition of COVID-19 death
COVID-19 death is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from a clinically compatible
illness in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID-19 disease (e.g. trauma). There should be no period of complete recovery
between the illness and death.
Further guidance for certification and classification (coding) of COVID-19 as cause of death is available here.
Annex 1: Data, table and figure notes
Caution must be taken when interpreting all data presented. Differences are to be expected between
information products published by WHO, national public health authorities, and other sources using
different inclusion criteria and different data cut-off times. While steps are taken to ensure accuracy
and reliability, all data are subject to continuous verification and change. Case detection, definitions,
testing strategies, reporting practice, and lag times differ between countries/territories/areas. These
factors, amongst others, influence the counts presented, with variable underestimation of true case
and death counts, and variable delays to reflecting these data at global level.
The designations employed, and the presentation of these materials do not imply the expression of
any opinion whatsoever on the part of WHO concerning the legal status of any country, territory or
area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Dotted and
dashed lines on maps represent approximate border lines for which there may not yet be full
agreement. Countries, territories and areas are arranged under the administering WHO region.
The mention of specific companies or of certain manufacturers’ products does not imply that they are
endorsed or recommended by WHO in preference to others of a similar nature that are not
mentioned. Errors and omissions excepted, the names of proprietary products are distinguished by
initial capital letters.
[1] All references to Kosovo should be understood to be in the context of the United Nations Security
Council resolution 1244 (1999). In the map, number of cases of Serbia and Kosovo (UNSCR 1244, 1999)
have been aggregated for visualization purposes.
Counts reflect laboratory-confirmed cases and deaths, based on WHO case definitions, unless stated
otherwise (see Country, territory, or area-specific updates and errata), and include both domestic and
repatriated cases.
Other*: includes cases reported from international conveyances.
Due to the recent trend of countries conducting data reconciliation exercises which remove large
numbers of cases or deaths from their total counts, WHO will now display such data as negative
numbers in the “new cases” / “new deaths” columns as appropriate . This will aid readers in identifying
when such adjustments occur. When additional details become available that allow the subtractions to
be suitably apportioned to previous days, graphics will be updated accordingly. Prior situation reports
will not be edited; see covid19.who.int for the most up-to-date data.
Additional table notes
i Transmission classification is based on a process of country/territory/area self -reporting.
Classifications are reviewed on a weekly basis, may be revised as new information becomes available,
and are based on the highest category reported. Differing degrees of transmission may be present
within countries/territories/areas. Categories:
• No cases: with no confirmed cases
• Sporadic cases: with one or more cases, imported or locally detected.
• Clusters of cases: experiencing cases, clustered in time, geographic location and/or by common
exposures.
• Community transmission: experiencing larger outbreaks of local transmission defined through an
assessment of factors including, but not limited to: large numbers of cases not linkable to
